High utility bills? Stuffy rooms? Dusty house? It could be your duct system. In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. Have you ever wondered if your duct work is properly sealed? Sealing duct work is vital to a home's efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality. At Thermo Shield Home Energy Savings we have the certifications, tools, and experience to test and repair your home's air ducts system. Our team has the training, skills, and experience to seal and make repairs to your air ducts system.

​

A duct system that is properly sealed and insulated can make your home more comfortable, energy efficient, and safe—all while helping to reduce your energy bills. However, in typical homes, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly insulated ducts. The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set.

 

Have you ever wondered where all the dust in your home is coming from? The majority of attics are full of dust, debris, and dangerous fibrous materials. Leaky duct work is one of the leading causes of dust and poor air quality in homes. Long exposure to poor air quality can cause allergies and may cause health problems down the road. Sealing duct work will decrease dust in your home and improve your indoor air quality.

 

We highly recommend a duct cleaning service after a duct sealing service. It is also highly recommended to air seal your attic before adding Cellulose or Fiberglass insulation. This will ensure your home's energy efficiency and indoor air quality are optimal.
